(DEVELOPER) FOR THE TOWN OF MOORESVILLE TO ASSUME THE
EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF A 78- ACRE TRACT OF LAND OFF FAITH
ROAD: Allison said the Mott family, represented by Frank Jacobus, was requesting that a 78 -acre
parcel, off of Faith Road, be released to the Town of Mooresville for development and subdivision
standards. Mr. Allison said the area was already included in the Town's land development plan
(medium- density residential). Allison said the developer planned to create a community under the
Town's planned residential community classification with a density of approximately three units per
acre.
Frank Jacobus said the Mott family heirs desired to create a neighborhood with homes
costing between $110,000 - $160,000 with "green space" for walking trails, etc. Mr. Jacobus said
he pledged to have a subdivision with three homes per acre and no more. Jacobus said he had
previously requested annexation to the Town of Mooresville; however, the fire chief reported there
was a policy stipulating fire trucks could not travel more than five miles. If the trucks travel more
than this distance, the ISO (state insurance rating agency) can give an adverse fire rating. Based
upon this information, the Town Board did not approve the annexation.
Bill & Carolyn Morrow both spoke in favor of the request. Mrs. Morrow said her family
had owned the property since 1963.
MOTION by Chairman Haire to grant the request and allow the Town of Mooresville to
assume extraterritorial jurisdiction of the 78 -acre tract of land off Faith Road.
VOTING: Ayes - 3; Nays - 2 (Boone/Johnson).
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A HIGH DENSITY APPLICATION FOR WSIV-
CA WATERSHED: Mr. Allison said Thomas Wilson Properties was requesting approval of a
high density option in the WSIV-CA Watershed for a mixed use development off River
Hwy/NC 150. The high density option would allow the applicant to exceed the standard allowance
of 24% built -upon (buildings, parking, sidewalks, etc.) The applicant has submitted a phased
development and received zoning approval on January 7, 1997. The high density option requires
the applicant to build and maintain a wet detention pond capable of removing 85% of the total
suspended solids from a one -inch rainfall. The ponds must be bonded and inspected annually.
Allison said the planning staff recommended approval.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to approve the high density application as
recommended by the planning staff.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
REQUEST BY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR WITHDRAWAL OF
STATE MAINTENANCE OF SECTIONS OF SR 1927 AUSTIN ROAD AND
WITHDRAWAL OF STATE MAINTENANCE OF A PORTION OF SR 1494 CATAWBA
AIR ROAD: Mr. Allison said a petition request had been submitted by Mr. Jim Rand from the
NCDOT. The request is to abandon sections of SR -1927 Austin Road from the state maintained
system. The abandonment is due to a change of alignment associated with an improvement project
currently under construction at the intersection of SR -1907 South Chipley Ford Road and SR -1927
Austin Road. The sections to be abandoned have a total of 1,044 linear feet.
In reference to the Catawba Air Road, Allison said this request was due to a petition request
from property owners to the Department of Transportation. The section to be abandoned has a total
of 211 linear feet.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to approve the withdrawal of state maintenance of
sections of SR 1927 Austin Road and for a portion of SR 1494 Catawba Air Road.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
